What's needed now, after a big Cash Transfusion, is a Luxury Full/Mid Sized Cadillac, no amenities spared (Seville) with a sports model, and introduced with the Northstar 4.4 V engine. Also there should be a long range Turbo Diesel V6 engine, and a price leader V6 3.0 engine (one made with balance shafts, and completely free of the cheap feeling CTS V6 engines).
Also running changes need to be made to the CTS, with updated engine offerings, and available magnetic ride control option.

I AGREE,CADILLAC DEFINATELY NEEDS A 750 FIGHTER. THE CTS IS DEFINATELY MAKING ITS WAY UP THE IMPORTS ASSES. IF GM CAN SHOW THAT THEY TRULY CARE ABOUT THEIR CAR LINES,PEOPLE WILL START BUYING GM AGAIN. IF THEY STOP MESSING WITH THE FORMULA THAT WORKED IN THE 60'S AND 70'S INSTEAD OF TRYING TO CHANGE THE LINEUPS TO COPY THE IMPORTS. THE SIXTEEN IS 5 YRS OLD BUT I THINK IT CAN MAKE A DENT IN SALES AND ADD MUCH NEEDED PRESTIGE BACK TO CADILLAC.
